Let's Not Build Anything Ever Again, Never Forget

“Now, if we have a more decentralized mass transit system using buses, if the terrorists blow up a single bus, we can work around that. When they blow up a rail, that just brings the system to a grinding halt. So how much security are we going to have on this rail system, and how much will it cost?”
—That’s J.D. Van Brink, of the Georgia Tea Party, explaining why trains shouldn’t be built in the US of A. So, I guess the terrorists won? Also, I would like to report that I saw the movie Unstoppable recently, because I was sure the “runaway train” concept was just like an organizing idea or a plot device? NO. It is literally about a runaway train, and it is terrible, and boring, and annoyingly shot, and poorly edited. That is all. (via)
